During an interview with Wired at E3 2018, The Coalition boss Rod Fergusson talked about internal technical targets for Gears of War 5. Fergusson explained: "Our target is always 60fps, and we believe - with everything we've done, the learning we've taken from Gears 4, and the optimizations we've been able to do beyond that - that's exactly what we're going to be doing, 60fps at 4K. The new technology of this generation has been fantastic".

This is a big change for the Gears of War franchise, as Gears of War 4 ran at 4K 30FPS for the single-player campaign, with 60FPS reserved for multiplayer. The PC version however, is a massive upgrade over the Xbox versions of Gears of War 5.
